Very salty and too much sage. The smoked oyster flavor is fairly subtle in this. Easy but I won't be making it again.

Was a bit bland in taste and unappealing to the eye. Ingredients MUST be drained well or you'll end up with a watery-looking dip, making iteven more unattractive. I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayo, and doubled the cheese but it still needs something to boost the flavor... garlic? chopped green onions?

Excited by all the great reviews, I couldn't wait to try this. Although it was good, with every mouthful I tasted a "chemical" taste. Knowing it had to be the dry leek soup mix, I checked its ingredients. It contains chemicals like sulfites, monosodium glutamate, disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate. Many people have adverse reactions to sulfites and MSG. As someone who tries to eat a healthy, natural diet and avoid chemicals as much as possible, I will make my clam chowder from scratch and not use this recipe anymore. Just couldn't get past the underlying chemical taste this had.
